Review: Lost In You

A smart savvy female becoming romantically involved with her client generates quite the erotic sparks. Clover Brite is a project manager contractor extraordinaire. From a professional standpoint, she easily manages her day to day tasks and removes all obstacles. The renovation of a large mall complex is a great job to build upon her reputation. When she finally meets the owner of the mall, it's kismet.

Dorian Martin is a reformed playboy. He is rich yet down to earth. He is trapped in the mall during a severe storm with Clover. The chemistry between the two of them is lightning hot. The budding romance is sweet. The characters both started out quite well. Clover is admirable. Dorian is sexy and smooth. As reality returns, Clover is no longer so appealing.

While the sex is decent in this story, the characters become a bit undesirable. This is on purpose to drive the conflict between Clover and Dorian. Clover turns from a mature female into a basket case with daddy issues. Her calm and collected demeanor switching to a whiny drama queen with low self-esteem issues made for a difficult read the last half of the book. The interactions between Clover and Dorian as Clover's insecurities arise are painful to witness. She's a bit psychotic and if I were Dorian, I'd have dropped her and moved on. He doesn't need her brand of crazy.

From a romantic perspective, Ms. Marsden does a lovely job. The grand gestures Dorian performs for Clover are "sweep a girl off her feet" amazing. They are thoughtful if a bit extravagant. Dorian is a sweet guy who also has some daddy issues but he doesn't let it get in his way. I think better of Dorian for this.

The descriptions of the buildings and locations are all vivid and well done. The reader can see each place clearly. Ms. Marsden is very good at showing through actions. This makes for a good read. The story flowed very well in spite of the unhinged female lead. Clover isn't a bad person. She's just a bit too high maintenance for my tastes which is why it is unappealing to me. From a realistic standpoint, Clover is sadly accurate to many real life people. She's probably a bit more balanced than some of the people in the real world. Overall, this story is a sweet romance with a lovely happily ever after. This contemporary romance is recommended to hopeless romantics.

What is chemical play? Is it acids that are used to burn body parts?
No. It's using different types of substances to illicit sensation on
the skin and perhaps in the body. Generally the substances are in liquid
form for easy application. I'm going to go through only the ones I've
used. I am sure there are more. Hopefully others will be happy to
share their experiences. As usual, I'm going to use the terms Top and
bottom for the person applying the person receiving, respectively.

Safety first

With chemical play, while there is a lessor possibility of harm, it
still exists. There can be adverse reactions. It could be a person is
allergic to the chemical. It is important to ask about any allergies
the bottom may have.

Another thing to be concerned with
chemical play is where it contacts. There are some things which can
burn and temporarily damage delicate mucus membranes. Not everyone's
body reacts the same to chemicals so it is…

What?How can stapling be sexy?Who
wants to be stapled?How on earth did
these BDSM deviants pervert a stapler?
Are these the thoughts running through your
head?They were the thoughts running
through my head.The only time I've seen
stapling done on a person is on the Jackass
Movie.There doesn't seem to
be a clip of it on Youtube.However,
Steve-O from Jackass did do it again with a regular stapler here.
The stapler I'm referring to is NOT a regular
office stapler or a staple gun found at a hardware store.Could you use those?Yes.Is it advisable?No.Instead, we are going to learn about surgical
staple guns.There are a couple of
different brands.
The focus of this topic is where you can
staple and how you can mix it up in your scene. Safety
Yes, it's safety time again!It's boring but mandatory.
First, stapling does cause a break in the
skin.Depending on the person and
sometimes even the time of the month, a person may or ma…

What is a sensual sadist? How does this work? Doesn't a sadist only
give pain? I've read in some books which argue there is no such thing
as a sensual sadist and they don't like that phrase at all.

I
have had the pleasure of attending a class from a self titled, Sensual
Sadist. Here are my notes from the class. Any mistakes are due to me
as a note taker, not the presenter.

The presenter in the class
was Haven. He's a second generation Dom. His parents are in the
lifestyle and lived it as he was growing up in the household.

Haven
was an extremely dynamic presenter who kept the class captivated. He
was well spoken and based on his work at Renaissance Faires, I'm not
surprised. Haven is on fetlife. He also has a blog which he adds to
here and there - Kinky as I am.

What does it mean to be a sensual sadist?

For Haven, it means two parts.

1. More senses than just touch. Toys can be used to caress or cause pain.
